Yamaha DTX500 Owner's Manual - Page 34

8 Trigger Setup Edit Trigger Setup Edit contains various settings related to trigger input signals received from pads or drum triggers (Yamaha DT20, etc.) that are connected to the trigger input jacks. These settings let you optimize the DTX500 for best operation and response to these signals. If you are using drum triggers attached to acoustic drums, or pads other than those that came with the DTX500 set, you'll need to adjust the sensitivity. This section also has settings that help prevent crosstalk* and double triggering*. * Crosstalk: The interference between trigger signals of physically adjacent pads, producing unexpected notes. * Double triggering: The condition where a single pad hit causes multiple (usually two) triggers. Trigger Setup procedure If you want to replace some of the pads from your drum set, or if you need to solve problems with double triggering or crosstalk, the Trigger Setup provides more detailed settings-such as changing the preset's trigger setup-for individual pads. If you've created a custom setup for these reasons or others, that setup can be saved to one of the Trigger Setup locations (8-11). 3 Rotate the jog dial to change the setting. * An asterisk "*" will appear next to "TRG" in the display if data is changed. This asterisk will disappear after the Store operation is carried out. * The Trigger Input Level produced when a pad is hit is shown on the upper right side of the display. When setting the gain, use this level as a guide to measure how hard a pad is being hit.
